Steven Rattner, the head of former President Obama’s auto industry task force, called President Biden’s visit to Michigan and a United Auto Workers (UAW) picket line “outrageous” in a Wednesday interview.

“For him to be going on a picket line is outrageous,” said Rattner, a former journalist who later worked in private equity, said in an interview with NBC News. “There’s no precedent for it. The tradition of the president is to stay neutral in these things.”

Obama admin dude critical of Biden??? What the heck?

[Da Coyote]

Hey Dorkbama, you’re the one who wanted “fundamental change”. You’ve got it...we’ve gone from a semi respectable nation to a third world POS worth of you and your party.

Shove it, ‘tard. Eat **** and die.

As if Joe has ever done an honest day’s work in his entire life. Lol

The tradition of the president is to stay neutral in these things.

Biden is being 'neutral'. He's playing on both sides of the fence. He can't lose.

He has to pretend that he's on the side of the unions and the auto workers. At the same time, he's got to work against the carmakers, The carmakers are being TOLD to stop making ICE cars and only make EVs, which means that, around 40% of the auto workers will definitely lose their jobs. EVs don't require as many auto workers, and a lot of those jobs will be sent overseas.

Auto makers BAD; auto workers GOOD!. ICE cars bad! EVs good! Auto workers losing their jobs bad!

Therefore, Biden has no choice but to sit on the fence, playing both sides. But, playing both sides is bad for the automakers and bad for the autoworkers. Biden hasn't got a clue, and he just does what he's told to do. Despicable! Hopefully, the autoworkers will realize that the unions are not doing them any good, just like Biden is not doing them any good. The American people are the biggest losers.

...“There’s no precedent for it...”

For what? The stupidity or the corruption?

[PGR88]

Almost EVERYTHING America’s government does now is political in nature. Its how statist-marxist-fascist systems work.

I’ve said before: while we all came from very different directions, the USA, China, Russia are all converging on one general government model.

The message from the picket line is clear. We live in a dictatorship now, and the Junta controls the Brandon - this was an in-your-face message.

[alternatives?]

Good summary.

[Boogieman]

Biden had to do it because Trump was threatening to do it, and Biden knew that if Trump showed up and he did not, then Trump would probably steal Michigan.

Cat fight between leftists. Who does this Ratner clown think he’s kidding? Obama never cared about neutrality.

Looking like Michelle is the next President appointed by Obama/Hillary.
